I had been hearing so much about this fic, however, because it was Padma/Severus I was not intereted. Today I decided to give it a whirl. It was wonderful! Well written and so erotic. When I finished the first chapter I emailed a friend of mine and told her to come read. I just joined Lumos today so I could read your fic, I am glad I did. Thanks for entertaining me.

That was a wonderful story. I loved every bit of it. The insecurities they felt about it and the warmth shared despite that, I just loved your story, I really really did.

I wasn't sure about this pairing before I read it, but I can certainly buy it now! This is one of the most truly erotic things I've ever read. The hidden identity element added to the sense of tension wonderfully, as did the anonymous owls and the secret meetings at the hotel. I feel like I really know both Padma and Snape in a real and new way after reading this story. A part of me wants to know what happens next, but this is a powerful place to end. Cheers, Amy

By Merlin, that was the most erotically charged, beautifully written, intense, sad, then heartwarming story I have read in a very long time. Write more soon. I'm off to read your other work.

I loved this story. It was erotic, romantic, and endearing ... I keep thinking about it. You did such a nice job portraying the insecurities of both characters. You show the "baggage" than an individual has to carry, and how that added weight often affects our relationships. Wonderful story. Thanks so much for writing it. Best, Sophie

It's good to see someone remembered Ravenclaws do exist! hehe.
Really, it's a very good story. --- Since the first encounter in the dark of a bedroom, you've got me thinking of Eros and Psyche's myth.
A hot PWP that have a lot more in the story than two people shagging their brains out. :) I like it a lot.

Buh ... after two days on chewing on I've decided to write a "critical" review because ... how shall I put it?
You're a very talented writer. You've got all the skills which make for a real good one - like style, a big vocabulary, a sense for "how to tell". Everything what I like at a writer is there and that was why I read this story twice although I actually think it doesn't work.
The idea of meeting a stranger who isn't a stranger and falling in love with him is interesting, yet in this case - sorry, sorry, sorry, but I can't "buy" it.
I thought about my own teachers (and my time in school is farer away as your girl's). I had none of them for seven years, but even with sitting in their classes for only two or three years, I'm absolutely sure: I'd recognize their voices (and my teachers hadn't so "interesting" voices as the Snape you're describing). And I'm sure I'd recognize their handwriting (though they wouldn't probably recognize mine because it changed in the last 25 years). Besides: Snape does a job which makes not only for often standing close to his pupils, but for him getting a certain smell too (and even with a lot of showering: I worked once in a lab and I know you can't get the smell of certain substances out of your skin and hair). So I simply can't believe she'd meet him for more than once and she'd come close to him without getting at least an idea about his identity. It would make her a bit thick in my eyes.
And there's something else: The way he writes his notes to her ... I'm terribly sorry, but they sounded to me "out of character". I can't imagine Snape writing so "flowery" letters.
Author's Response: Thanks for the in-depth analysis, but I really wasn't going for a sense of gritty reality here. The whole setup is contrived and preposterous and we ALL know it (!!!), but this piece is clearly labeled "PWP," after all. It's meant to be a diverting, ephemeral piece of erotic fantasy, nothing more.

Wonderfully well-written. I think we all harbor the desire to be loved regardless of our identity & looks. You've captured this brilliantly with your words.
Author's Response: Wow, this story in a nutshell - bravo! And thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

wow. very nicely done. is this all there is to this story?
Author's Response: Yes, it's finished. I intended for this story to be a short erotic idyll with a bit of mythological allegory thrown in for fun :-)

Bravo, very hot and well written. Nice to see Snape paired with someone different for a change.
Author's Response: Great, glad you liked it! I'd never seen anyone do a story from Padma Patil's POV before, and she seems to me so much more interesting than Parvati, somehow. Anyway, thanks bunches for the kind words!

Wow, I am loving it.
Author's Response: I loved writing it! Thanks for the review!

I love this story!!! She's smart enough to realize she wants him regardless of his appearance, etc. and he's honest with her about who he really is and why/how that happened. Perfect story! Thank you for writing it.
Author's Response: Yay, you are most kind to praise me little ficlet thus! Thanks!
